About

In the future, solar and wind will supply larger shares of electricity in Luxembourg. As these sources are weather dependent, they do not provide constant electricity supply, but fluctuate depending on varying conditions. Thus, Luxembourg’s domestic and imported power supply will fluctuate more in the future. On the demand side, Luxembourg’s electricity system will feature more ‘smartness’, including options for flexible demand. Creos, Luxembourg’s grid operator, must balance supply and demand in the power grid and seeks to understand how to activate this demand flexibility to meet intermittent power generation. In this collaborative partnership, we use Creos’s unique data access to clarify Luxembourg’s flexibility potential and develop tools and insights for Creos regarding future energy needs for Luxembourg. The project also aims to develop novel methods for studying and simulating flexibility provision by customers. This project supports Luxembourg’s energy transition during rapid climate change.
